TWINE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 31, 1911.

Application filed April 18, 1911. Serial No. 621,787.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JMARTHA M. FULLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Caldwell, in the county of Canyon and State of Idaho, have invented new and useful Improvements in Twine-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to twine, thread or yarn holders, the object of the invention being to provide a substantially foraminous receptacle designed for the reception of the material and constructed so as to permit the material to be readily viewed through the receptacle so as to enable the operator to readily see the color of the material without necessitating opening the receptacle.

Another object of the invention is to provide a receptacle of wire sections of substantially identical construction, each section being substantially of spiral form and the adjacent portions of the sections having their innermost wound portions constructed for interfitting engagement so as to hold the sections securely connected together.

In the drawing, forming a portion of this specification and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views :Figure 1 is a side view of the holder. Fig. 2 is a vertical section therethrough. Fig. 3 is avertical section through the holder.

My improved holder comprises a lower section 1 and an upper section 2, each of which being substantially identically constructed and formed preferably of a single length of wire, wound spirally, the small end of each section being disposed outermost. The section 2 has its outermost windings constructed to form an eye 3 through which the end of the material may be extended and exposed for use. The large ends of the sections 1 and 2 are provided with free interfitting substantially screw threadforming portions 4 which are engaged with each other to hold the sections 1 and 2 securely connected together. The section 2 of the receptacle has one of its wound portions bent upon itself to provide a retainer 5 as shown in Fig. 3. This retainer is located adjacent to the eye 3 and is adapted to receive the free terminal of the material so as to hold the same confined exteriorly of the Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the The section 2 has one of its wound portions provided with ears 8 which receive the inner ends of a suspending tape or ribbon 9, the intermediate portion thereof having a loop 10 therein to receive a belt or the like so that the holder can be suspended from the waist of its user.

The device described herein is designed particularly for use as a holder for spool cotton, ball twine, yarn or the like, and its construction is such that will permit the user to readily gain access to the material to be used, furthermore, the construction provides means whereby the material will be heldagainst rolling away from its user and thereby prevent damage to the material and guard against the same becoming dirty.

The section 1 has its small end provided with an eye 11 through which the material is passed when the device is suspended above the head of the user, it being understood that when the device is used as a holder for twine the loop 10 of the tape 9 may be at tached to any suitable support upon the ceiling or the like.

I claim:

A cord holder comprising a receptacle of separable sections each formed of a single length of wire wound spirally, the said sections having adjacent wound portions formed for interfitting engagement to hold the sections together, one of the sections having an eye therein, and a retaining device located adjacent to the eye and adapted to receive one terminal of the cord to hold the same exterior-1y exposed.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
